标注噪声对监督深度学习构成重大挑战,神经网络依赖大规模高质量标注数据,其污染会严重损害模型性能。尽管标签噪声鲁棒性在分类任务中已有广泛研究,但在姿态估计(PE)领域仍相对不足。这一局限在新生儿科尤为关键,因早产儿姿态评估用于判断自发运动能力,是神经发育轨迹的重要指标。实际临床中,由于关键点自遮挡、照护者干扰等视觉难题,标注过程极易出错。为此,本文提出基于训练动态记忆的关键点可靠选择方法(REMIND),通过关键点级训练动态聚类,无需假设噪声分布即可识别噪声标注,实现无噪声模型训练。在包含46名早产儿46段真实临床视频的自研NeoPose数据集上,REMIND在多种污染场景下表现优异,三种主流姿态估计架构均达到最高93%的曲线下面积(AUC)。据我们所知,这是首个明确解决早产儿姿态估计中标签噪声问题的研究,为数据质量不可控环境下的婴儿监测算法设计铺平道路。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Noisy annotations pose a significant challenge for supervised deep learning, as neural networks rely on large-scale, high-quality labeled data whose corruption can severely impair model performance. Although robustness to label noise has been extensively studied for classification tasks, it remains relatively underexplored in Pose Estimation (PE). This limitation becomes critical in clinical contexts, including neonatology, where PE of preterm infants is used to support the assessment of spontaneous motility, a key indicator of neurodevelopmental trajectories. In such settings, infants' images labeling is further hindered by visual challenges (e.g., keypoint self-occlusions, caregiver interference), making the annotation process inherently susceptible to errors. To tackle noisy annotations in PE, we introduce REliable keypoint selection via Memory of traINing Dynamics (REMIND), a clustering-based keypoint-selection strategy that exploits keypoint-wise training dynamics to identify noisy labels without assuming any prior knowledge of the noise distribution, thus enabling noise-free model training. When evaluated on the proprietary NeoPose dataset, comprising 46 videos of 46 preterm infants recorded in real clinical settings, REMIND correctly identifies noisy annotations across multiple corruption scenarios, achieving up to 93\% Area Under the Curve (AUC) with three different PE architectures used in the relevant literature. To our knowledge, this is the first study to explicitly address label noise in preterm infants' PE, paving the way for the design of trustworthy learning-based algorithms for infants'monitoring support when data quality cannot be guaranteed.
